His mumblings were creatively amazing ! He got started with those remarks, while he was doing his juggling act. He discovered that if he started saying things to himself, people found it amazingly funny , so it became the main part of his act.
WC Fields was a truly one of the greats! Thanks for posting his films here so we can all enjoy them. By the way,do you know a man by the name of LaFong? Carl LaFong? Capital L,small a,capital F,small o,small,small g. LaFong,Carl LaFong.
Possibly his best remark was when he was in his deathbed. A friend arrived to visit and saw the notorious athiest reading a bible. “Fields, a bible?” Fields said, “Looking for loopholes.”
W C Fields still had that knack today to put a smile and chuckle in your day. Note a lot of personal comments on how he was this or that and true he was no angel that makes him all the more interesting a character in Hollywood history.
Thnx William Claude for uploading. For WC fans, just to note that 30 sec of film or more is missing after cop says "whatever anybody tells you to do ...." .. It's the cop's invective to WC very funny - "it's my beat, got me?" More funny interchange and response with WC after which cop says: "Get lost! Beat it! You understand?" WC very cowed, "yes sir, yes sir." The missing footage is a study in torture for WC which is maybe why it was removed.
Great scene when the traffic cop has him pull over to the curb,then he runs into a parked police officers motor cycle and gets 2 tickets at the same time. lol
greatest line ever in a fields film occurs in this! oddly not from the great wc! the princess rushes up to fields wife to tell her he is now promoted and has a huge fortune! she says i have the most wonderful news you could ever imagine! his wife replies hopefully what?is my husband dead? brilliant!
My mistake. John Wayne already was an establised star in 1935, so it's unlikely that he would take a small role like this one and I also think John Wayne worked at another production company.
The third cop is James Burke, who specialized in playing cops, though usually of the plain-clothed variety. If you go to IMDB and look at his filmography, you'll be astounded by the number of films stereotyped actors like Burke could be in in one year. He was the hotel detective in the "Maltese Falcon" and also gave a very accomplished performance as the sheriff in "Nightmare Alley".
One of the funniest men that lived.
Yes, Very Much So He Was.
this is a classic. the scenes with the cops can be related to
W.C. F. 👍😁🤣🇩🇰 bare OK.
"It must be hard to lose your mother-in-law"
"Yes it it is hard. Almost impossible."
I didn't catch that. I knew there was a joke in there but it went over my head with its subtlety. The best kind.

He’s a - memory expert - brilliant 😂

What the fuck are you talking about stooge?
@@trevorcollum6883 he's being anecdotal
He's simply attempting to relate an apocryphal anecdote

Two words to describe this man, comic genius!
*comedic
The cop gives a good impression of John Wayne.
Great observation of life in these United States! Not much change cept newer vehicles.
I suppose if the the cop told you to shoot me you would shoot me? WC Fields: aww yes sir... Cop what? I mean no sir
Is the third policeman John Wayne?
Dale Collins No.
@@superfly2449 looks and sounds like the Duke. Same laconic humor too
Almost impossible . AHhhhh hahahahaha

When it rains, it pours....
He was hilarious. He manages to get 2tickets from different cops at the same time!
The officer on point duty told me to drive in here and run into the motorcycle policeman's bicycle.
Love it totally get it 👏 to it all
Hahahahah memory expert my l9ve
I think the third cop was the insurance salesman in "It's A Gift" who was looking for Carl LaFong.
Capital L, small A, capital F, small O, small N, small G .
Wcf wife nmothernlaw n bro n law remind me of my mom grandmother and brother oh god
Boy did the coppers dress better then.
What did she die of bad liquor 😆
His secretary was his mistress in real life. Spent last 14 years of his life with him.
She wrote a good book years ago called WC Fields and Me. It was a long time ago. I'd like too read it again some day
She wasn't his mistress, he was not merried aththe time
She was his companion, not his mistress. She has a name: Carlotta Monti.
@@donbuck8110 -No, but SHE was...
Groucho banged her alot he said in his book. Harpo got anal...lon Chaney got a bj
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS... BANKERS

LOUSY COPPERS! Thanks for posting! Long time WC Fields fan, have never seen this one before. I am remedying that now! :D
I love it!!!
This character reminds me of me.
John Wayne as the third cop ?

@@Svend63 Speaking of established stars... Walter Brennan was one of the robbers in the basement.
@@tomrutledge5621, damn if gramps ain't at it agin'! Wonderful Walter.

@@michaelwertzy9808 Did you know that the Mulwray's house in "Chinatown" was Walter Brennan's house? Gramps did OK for himself.
That bank manager was the voice of an angel in IAWL
Around 4:07 A young John Wayne fronts up as a cop,
@hanajinks Thank you
@UCHZoVOKHQYfKZAkfg6lhecw Nah mate, I'd recognize his voice anywhere. --In his later movies he used to go into a sort of Texas nasal Drawl
That’s not John Wayne
LOFL- are you also a memory expert sir?
Why the missing bits?
To manipulate us regarding the police rather than the comedy of W.C.
